Chapter 3 - A CUP OF COFFEE FOR YOU
Cayenne clocked out from work and went home directly. Kyle and Luiz were almost done
with their school preparation when she arrived home. "Morning." She greeted the two of
them while she removed her shoes.
"I already cooked breakfast. Make sure to eat before you leave for work." Kyle reminded her
sister.
"Yes, sir. You both take care. I will go to sleep now." Cayenne went directly to her room so
that she can catch some sleep before starting another work at nine in the morning.

As soon as she finished taking a half bath, she lay down for a quick nap but after an hour,
she was still wide awake. Her mind was wandering to the time she spent with her boss. "He
won't fire me, right? I didn't do anything rude las night, right?" She questioned herself in
worry. "I need this job. I can't afford to lose this. Should I apologize? But wouldn't he think I
am doing it on purpose if I come to him first?" Her mind was a mess of braincells and she
couldn't think properly. She was deeply worried.
Time had passed and she wasn't able to get a wink of sleep. She wasn't that worried though
since she got to sleep last night until early morning. Though her head was still throbbing,
after she ate her breakfast and drank a warm water, she felt alright.
She started preparing for her job at the café. It wasn't very tedious and the owner was very
kind so Cayenne had a good time working in the café.
"That's where she works during the day." Stefan's driver, bodyguard and secretary, Chris,
told him while pointing his finger to a café where Cayenne was taking order from a customer.
She was full of smiles and you couldn't see the exhaustion from her face. She was rather
energetic even though she was working her bones to dust. "During weekend, she has some
part-time jobs and other sidelines to pass her time and earn a meager cash." Chris added to
his report. "Her two younger brothers are currently studying. Her mother is in Senyu Medical
Center due to her tuberculosis. Her mother wasn't married to anyone so they don't have a
father. She's the one who's working for the whole family."
"Okay." Stefan nodded his head and a smile was formed on his lips. "Let's go back to Clover
Company first." His company wasn't like Venus Plaza which has a large building with so
many workers and developers. His company was just a five-storey building where meetings
will be held regularly. It was where the managers of different hotels and restaurants would
give their reports as well. He didn't need a large building since he didn't own a large
conglomerate unlike Travis who owned multiple types of business. Compared to him, Stefan
wasn't that rich. However, his business was a product of his own hard work from scratch
since his parents didn't acknowledge him from the start. They didn't help him and there was
no sign of them giving their business to their only living son. Unlike Travis, he didn't have any
inheritance.
Stefan went back to work and thought of a way to deal with Cayenne as well. He wanted to
sleep just like last night and it seemed that he can only do it with Cayenne beside him.
After a long day, Cayenne went home and just in time for her brothers to come back as well.
When she arrived, the two young men were grinning at her like fools which made her raise
her eyebrows. "What are you guys up to?"

"Close your eyes, sis. We have a surprise for you." Kyle stated which she followed. "At the
count of one, two, and three. Open your eyes."
Cayenne did as she was told and found a printed scholarship results in front of her. "When
did you take a scholarship?" she asked since she didn't have any idea about it. They hid it
from her.
Kyle scratched the tip of his nose while trying to hide his proud smile. "You didn't want us to
work and we feel a little guilty that you have to support the family by yourself. So, we
decided to apply for different scholarships to lessen the burden on your shoulders."
Cayenne smiled though tears were streaming down her face. "I am so proud of you two.
Don't worry about me, just focus on your study. But I am still thankful. We can finally add a
little amount for our groceries." She hugged the two of them and gently pat their head. She
didn't know that her brothers were thinking of ways to help her, too.
That night, Cayenne went to work with a huge smile. She was elated that they wouldn't cut
so much from their food expenses to cover the school fees. Kyle and Luiz both received a
fifty percent tuition fee assistance and that means, she would only pay for the remaining fifty
percent. She was already thankful that the school administrator allowed her to pay the
expenses every month to lessen her burden.
"Good evening, Manager Dan." Cayenne greeted the man with a faint smile. "Good evening,
Mona." She turned to her co-receptionist who will be working with her on a night shift.
"You seem happy today? Got a good sleep?" Mona asked her.
"Hn. I was able to sleep without any problem." Cayenne replied with a smile. She even forgot
the fact that she slept with her boss. Now that she was back in his territory, her heart skipped
a beat and her palms started to sweat coldly. 'He won't fire me today, right?' she though
inwardly while silently praying that he won't do it.
Mona and her went to their post which was at the lobby to receive guests and check their
booking information. She was in the middle of her work when Stefan came with a cup of
coffee. She acted nonchalant as if nothing happened the previous night. It was at this point
that she wanted to be invisible, to be out of his sight, to dig a hole and bury herself.
"Stay awake during work." Stefan commented and handed the cup of coffee to her. Not only
Mona but, she, herself was also surprised at this [Link] n𝒐velbin(.)c𝒐m for new
